98% of the British would like me to think things like "Bubble and Squeek"
are good to eat, too. And I just can't eat it. I've still never gotten used
to pig snout. And Peanut Butter and Jelly pizza still makes me want to
vomit.

Just because other people like it doesn't mean it's not awful. They're just
crazy.

Oh, I am joking. Mostly.

Too many of my vegan friends make me eat things like tofu and soy burgers.
And I just don't think I'll ever get used to it. Remember all the SR
references to how blown away runners are to eat "real" meat or fruit, as
opposed to the vastly more common myco-protein? Science can do many
impressive things, but making a steak out of a plant just doesn't seem to be
one of them.

Just my two cents. My vegan friends think I'm an idiot, too.
